Not so much a specific word or phrase but the same generic rhetoric clichés referring to certain players like anytime Messi, Ronaldo, Suarez etc misplace a pass, miss the target etc the sheer astonishment in their language/phrasing/tone as if it never happens. It happens all the time even though they are great players.

Yeah this is the absolute worst.

"Ooh, Messi is human after all!"

Yeah, thanks for that Clive. His team is 4-0 down to Bayern and he has done fuck all for 90 mins but THAT misplaced pass is the reason he's human.

Even made it into computer games. I remember playing FIFA a few years ago and misplaced a pass with Iniesta and the commentator said something like "a rare misplaced pass from Iniesta". I did it again a minute later and he said the same thing again. NOT THAT FUCKING RARE THEN EH?
